Party Pets Card with Nicky

Well hello there friends, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I'm sharing a birthday card with you that features the Party Pets stamp set. Please read on for the details and links.

To kick things off I took a white A2 panel of cardstock and die cut using the Comic Strip Everyday Die. I already had one of these die cut and so just with the main frame I now had two and I adhered them together then to the card base. I used the grass strip to die cut the negative cuts and I ink blended the sky and grass and recessed the pieces back through the openings, glueing in place as I went.

I added a few die cut clouds and then I stamped the images from Party Pets using black ink and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Clockwise from the top left:
Dog - w6, W5, W3, E42, E41
Cat/Cake - T4, T3, T2, T0, E44, E43, E41, C3, C1, C0, R39, R29, R24
Cat - E31, C3, C1
Cat - E74, E71, E41, E40
Dog - N4, N3, N1, N0
Balloon - YR09, YR07, YR04
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

Images were highlighted, and then die cut with the coordinating dies and backed with foam tape and applied to each little background scene.

To complete the card I just needed to take care of the sentiment which I stamped and heat embossed in a pretty blue, then die cut and applied with more foam tape to the window opening left blank for this purpose.

Thank you, I appreciate you stopping by Sunny's blog today to read and I will see you back here hopefully next Friday with something brand new. Happy crafting!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this new underwater shaker card showcasing the lovely mermaids from Mermaid Kisses. I've featured them two times already, here and here, and since tomorrow is Valentine's day, I thought it would be fun to create Valentine mermaids.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Mermaid Kisses - mermaids, seaweeds, tiny seashell, tiny starfish, small fish • Best Fishes - clown fish • Magical Mermaids - jellyfish, tiny fish, starfish, bubbles • Bighearted Bears - envelopes • Tropical Scenes - corals.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and created an underwater background using oxide inks. I first applied, from top to bottom, spun sugar and worn lipstick oxide inks. Next I placed a wave pattern stencil on my panel, and applied, from top to bottom, worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water all over my panel, and dried it using a paper towel. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added more splatters using a slim brush, and then did the same with festive berries oxide ink.

Once my panel was dry, I used the Window Trio Heart Landscape die to cut three hearts out of my panel. Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches pink panel, placed my underwater panel on top, put the three hearts back on their original spots and glued them on the pink panel using liquid glue. I stuck a piece of acetate at the back of the underwater panel, added foam strips all the around the heart windows and on the rest of the panel, poured some iridescent heart confetti and a mix of polymer clay confetti inside each heart window, peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached the pink panel to the foam strips to close my shaker panel.

Next I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the bubbles and hearts on the envelopes to make them sparkle. For my greeting, I stamped "Fintastic" from Fintastic Friends on the middle heart using white stazon ink, I white heat embossed "Life with you is" from Country Carnival on red cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner, and stuck it right above "Fintastic" using foam squares.

And that's it! A new super bright and colorful card, I hope you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Cat Antics card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I had so much fun creating this sweet birthday card with the adorable Cat Antics stamp and die set! I love these kitties so much that I initially colored five of them! But sometimes you have to adjust your design plans since I only had room for three. So, I put the other two aside for a future card!

For this project, I kept to a strict color scheme of beige, brown, coral, and red tones. I started by coloring the big celebration cake (Special Day), the banners (Panda Party), presents, party hat (Party Pets) and the sweet cats with their ball of yarn (Cat Antics stamp). I added some white details to make the images pop.

To match the color scheme, I create a cream card base. Next, I cut a white panel with the largest of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. Since I wanted a white border around my scene, I used a smaller die from the same set. This provides you with the border and a smaller rectangle mat for scene building.

First, I stamped my background onto this smaller mat panel. For the bottom part (after masking of the top part with some Post It tape) I used the wood floor stamp (Sprawling Surfaces) and a brown ink from my stash. Using a small blending brush to add more brown ink to the planks.

Then I lowered the Post It tape to stamp the ‘wallpaper’ part of the card with a light pink ink and the fun diagonal grid stamp (Background Basics 2). You can only see it on the left side of the card, but I drew in a baseboard with a black pen and colored it with a dark brown pencil.

My sentiment consists of a large die cut (Wishes word) and a Happy Birthday stamp (Punny Fruit Greetings, Versafine Onyx Black ink). Next, I could build the entire scene.
Adding a few Crystal clear Jewels finishes this sweet project.

I can’t wait to see all these adorable kitties featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! You’re here with Amanda today and I’m so happy to be here with you! Today I’m going to walk you through how I made this square belated birthday card!

Are you loving the background on this card?! Me too! I used a combination of the new Tulip Path Background Stamps, the Spring Scenes Stamps and the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps. There’s quite a few layers, but I’ll break down each one!

I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock to 6”x12” for my card base. I scored it at the 6” mark and folded it. My next layer is the sky background panel. I trimmed this piece of white cardstock to 5.5”x5.5”. I lightly blended Catherine Pooler’s Hot Tub ink on the top portion of the panel.  

For the next layer, I’ve trimmed another piece of white cardstock to 5.5”x5.5”. On this panel, I stamped the main background stamp from the Tulip Path Background Stamps. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the foreground.

My next layer is the Spring Scenes Stamps. I stamped the image on a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 5.5”x 3”. I used the coordinating dies to trim off the top part of the panel. On the bottom portion, I stamped the rocky road stamp from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps.

I colored the entire background with Copic markers. Then, I assembled the card. I glued the background layers to the card base. I propped the foreground layer up with foam tape.

Now that all my layers are complete, it’s time to stamp my cuties! The 2 bunnies are from the Tulip Path Background Stamps. The little kitty and the birthday accessories are from the Party Pets Stamps. I used Copic markers to color in all my stamped images. I used the coordinating dies to cut out all the images. I propped all these little guys up with 3D foam squares and adhered them to the card.

The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is also from the Party Pets Stamps. My banner sentiment is from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps. I love that these clear stamps are so flexible!Although it’s a straight stamp, I was able to bend it into a wave on my stamping platform. After stamping it, I simply used scissors to cut it into a banner. I placed a thin piece of foam tape behind it and then adhered it to my card.

The card is finished! What a fun and colorful card to give to a friend! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and will come back tomorrow for more inspiration! Thanks for coming by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog!

Balloon Numbers Card with Leanne

Hello! Leanne here with another birthday card share. This one is little bit more special because I have used the Balloon Numbers stamp set and coordinating dies to add the age the recipient is turning. 

I had this idea for a simple scene with the cute little bird and branch images from the Little Birdie stamp set. It was super easy to customize the design with a fun sentiment and the balloon numbers. 

This scene design is really easy to recreate and only uses the two stamp sets with their coordinating dies - Little Birdie for the bird, bow, & branch images plus the words "a little birdie told me you're" and Balloon Numbers for the numbers & the word "today".

My background was created with combo of Catherine Pooler Sparkling Berry and Wintergreen inks.

I hand drew the balloon strings with a ruler and a fine tip black maker. Copics used for coloring are as follows: birds - YR30, Y11, Y18, W1, W4, R20;  branches - E42, E44, YG61, YG63

Since this card will be for my daughter, I choose to use feminine colors. By changing the colors to a more masculine palette, you could easily use this design for a guy.
